A wise
man once said, “That which we tolerate today, we will embrace tomorrow.”
Toleration is the first step to damnation, for an individual and for a
nation.

We are
not referring to temporal and frivolous issues like the color of carpet
for your bedroom, but rather all things regarding God’s word and
laws.

There
has never been a more deadly delusion than the modern wave of toleration
tranquilizers. “Don’t worry, be happy” has destroyed
many souls and families. Don’t worry, Christ’s grace will
allow God to tolerate your “little” sin. One drink of that
devil alcohol won’t hurt. Allowing your daughter to wear provocative
clothing is okay. Everyone else is doing it! Surely allowing them to go
to the movies made in “Hellywood” is okay. They will see the
evil someplace else anyway. Just because our daughter committed fornication
and is now having an illegitimate child, we can’t take too strong
a stand against that deadly sin. We might hurt their “feelings.”

We must
not break fellowship (acting like no sin was committed). This is ignoring
God’s word in Eph. 5:11. Surely we shouldn’t expect a broken
and contrite heart of repentance. Just because she is still living in
the world (sin) we should overlook this and treat all things as “normal.”
Surely Christ wasn’t speaking to and about “our little sin”
in Luke 13:3. And the same goes for the young man that also committed
fornication, a sin that a Holy God pronounced the death penalty in Deut.
22:21 and Rom 1:29. We should just overlook this law of course. They just
made a “simple mistake”. Isn’t it strange how God doesn’t
consider it a mistake?

Tolerance
has rocked multitudes to sleep, many of them once were people of holiness.
It has stopped the mouths of many who used to cry out against sin in every
form. It has neutralized, and made useless in battle, many once powerful
soldiers of the cross until they have become nothing but statues and relics
of once effective servants of Christ. They now, through tolerance, excuse
sin that once made them blush. They no longer blush or show any repentance.
(Jer. 6:15) For the most part, tolerance has caused the “church”
to cease from being a “peculiar (Strong’s 4045, purchased
possession) people”. (I Pet. 2:9) Multitudes, who used to have real
Bible salvation, now have more desire to be “accepted” by
their friends and families and more love for the world than for Christ.
The once saved and sanctified called out church has now become the popular,
accepted and non-judgmental church of the god of this world.

Of course,
those who know the Lord have a deep “Agape” love for the souls
of all men. “And of some have compassion, making a difference: and
others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment
spotted by the flesh). (Jude 23) But we must be able to discern when there
is no hope or help for the ones who are reprobate. (Matt. 7:6, Rom. 1:25-28)
We must not compromise or tolerate what a righteous God tells us to love,
and that which we are commanded to hate. (Ps. 97:10, Rom 12:9)

Many,
if not most Christians have now become “sentimental” and soft
against sin and the sinner. Especially in their own families. This is
truly a satanic influence that has penetrated the once mighty church.
No one can be tolerant toward sin (I John 3:4) of any kind and walk in
complete fellowship with the Lord (Ps. 66:18).

People
say to me, “Well, why do the worldly people prosper and seem to
be blessed?” The answer to that question is that if you think their
prosperity is of God, that is a sure sign that you do not have the Spiritual
Discernment that you need yourself. When people sell out to the devil,
to go along with him and his crowd, he stops opposing them, and it is
easy for them to get along. Their “god” blesses them unto
damnation! The sad part of this is the fact they face little, if any,
oppression from those who profess (not necessarily possess) to be true
Christians.

Ironically,
this makes it even easier for them to prosper and seem to be blessed.
But if any of these “famous” people come out of the world
and take a stand against evil, all hell will array their forces against
them. They will probably lose their “blessings”. But then
they will obtain the real blessings of a Holy God upon their souls, and
be on their way to heaven. (Gal: 6:22)

Folks,
because we have tolerated “little” sins, sin has abounded
all around us. We tolerated the murders of unborn babies and now it is
being discussed if parents have the right to determine if a child can
be murdered up to 3 years of age. They only become “real”
people when the parents “feel” like they are real people.

We tolerated
“free love” (sex) in the 60’s, uni-sex clothing and
acceptance of nudity in the 70’s, “gay” rights being
discussed into the 80’s, 90’s until now we have the Supreme
Court ruling that it is the right of these perverts to not only do as
they please, but to spread their evil into all of society. (Rom 1:32)
Now the sick, perverted pedophiles are claiming the same “rights”
as sodomites and lesbians! It’s just another “sexual orientation”
and we shouldn’t discriminate against them. Bestiality will be next!

Brothers
and sisters, watch your attitude toward sin and the world, and if you
find yourself getting soft in your attitude toward the things that you
once saw to be wrong, flee to the place of prayer and call on God to give
you back your discernment and your spiritual backbone! For any time you
get soft in your attitude toward wrong, you not only endanger your own
soul, but those of your family and even society in general. Let us return
to our first love and remember that we were purchased and purged from
our sins. (Rev. 2:4, II Peter 1: 9-10) We must not return unto our vomit
(worldly and foolish ways). (Prov. 26:11)

Many, if not most
Christians have now become “sentimental” and soft against
sin and the sinner. Especially in their own families. This is truly a
